Hi,
I don't know if this helps, but I am a wedding coordinator in New York & in the state you do not need any degree or class to be a coordinator. I suggestion working for one first to gain experience 7 then doing it on your own when you feel comfortable. Good luck!
You do not need to be certified to become a wedding planner, and your only options for training outside of an aprenticeship is to study at home. If you would like some more info., email me at chasingdreams3n8@yahoo.com
I sugguest that you contact Jean Picard at JEAN$WEDS@aol.com. She is the California State Coordinator for the Association of Bridal Consultants. She will be able to help you get started.
